Unifor Submission to the CRTC on Broadcasting Notice of Consultation 2013-558

Unifor is calling on the commission (CRTC) to require broadcasters to dedicate more of the tangible benefits from any merger or takeover to enhancing local programming.

“Local programming (whether television or radio), acts as a bridge between citizens and community life. Local news programming, specifically, offers an important window into local affairs and essential to a vibrant local democracy, community and culture,” the submission reads.
